Roma 9
Ang Biblia (1978)
9 Sinasabi ko ang katotohanang na kay Cristo, na hindi ako nagsisinungaling, (A)na ako'y sinasaksihan ng aking budhi sa Espiritu Santo,
2 Na mayroon akong malaking kalungkutan (B)at walang tigil na karamdaman sa aking puso.
3 Sapagka't ako'y makapagnanasa na ako man (C)ay itakuwil mula kay Cristo dahil sa aking mga kapatid, na aking mga kamaganak (D)ayon sa laman.
4 Na pawang mga Israelita; (E)na sa kanila ang pagkukupkop, at (F)ang kaluwalhatian, at (G)ang mga tipan, at ang pagbibigay ng kautusan, at (H)ang paglilingkod sa Dios, at (I)ang mga kapangakuan;
5 Na sa kanila (J)ang mga magulang, at (K)sa kanila mula ang Cristo ayon sa laman, (L)na siyang lalo sa lahat, Dios na (M)maluwalhati magpakailan man. Siya nawa.
6 Datapuwa't hindi sa ang salita ng Dios ay nauwi sa wala. Sapagka't (N)hindi ang lahat ng buhat sa Israel ay mga taga Israel:
7 (O)Ni sapagka't sila'y binhi ni Abraham, ay mga anak na silang lahat: kundi, (P)Kay Isaac tatawagin ang iyong binhi.
8 Sa makatuwid, ay hindi mga anak sa laman ang mga anak ng Dios: kundi ang mga (Q)anak sa pangako'y siyang ibibilang na isang binhi.
9 Sapagka't ito ang salita ng pangako, (R)Ayon sa panahong ito'y paririto ako, at magkakaroon si Sara ng isang anak na lalake.
10 At hindi lamang gayon; kundi nang maipaglihi na ni (S)Rebeca sa pamamagitan ng isa, ito nga'y ng ating ama na si Isaac—
11 Sapagka't ang mga anak nang hindi pa ipinanganganak, at hindi pa nagsisigawa ng anomang mabuti o masama, upang ang layon ng Dios ay mamalagi alinsunod sa pagkahirang, na hindi sa mga gawa, kundi (T)doon sa tumatawag,
12 Ay sinabi sa kaniya, (U)Ang panganay ay maglilingkod sa bunso.
13 Gaya ng nasusulat, (V)Si Jacob ay inibig ko, datapuwa't si Esau ay aking kinapootan.
14 Ano nga ang ating sasabihin? Mayroon baga kayang kalikuan sa Dios? Huwag nawang mangyari.
15 Sapagka't sinasabi niya kay Moises, (W)Ako'y maaawa sa aking kinaaawaan, at ako'y mahahabag sa aking kinahahabagan.
16 Kaya nga hindi sa may ibig, ni hindi sa tumatakbo, kundi sa Dios na naaawa.
17 Sapagka't sinasabi ng kasulatan tungkol kay Faraon, (X)Dahil sa layong ito, ay itinaas kita, upang aking maihayag sa pamamagitan mo ang aking kapangyarihan, at upang ang aking pangala'y maitanyag sa buong lupa.
18 Kaya nga sa kaniyang ibig siya'y naaawa, at sa kaniyang ibig siya'y nagpapatigas.
19 Sasabihin mo nga sa akin, Bakit humahanap pa siya ng kamalian? Sapagka't sino ang sumasalangsang sa kaniyang kalooban?
20 (Y)Nguni't, Oh tao, sino kang tumututol sa Dios? (Z)Sasabihin baga ng bagay na ginawa doon sa gumawa sa kaniya, Bakit mo ako ginawang ganito?
21 O wala bagang (AA)kapangyarihan sa putik ang magpapalyok, upang gawin sa isa lamang limpak ang (AB)isang sisidlan sa ikapupuri, at ang isa'y sa ikahihiya.
22 Ano kung ang Dios ay inibig na ihayag ang kaniyang kagalitan, at ipakilala ang kaniyang kapangyarihan, ay nagtiis ng malaking (AC)pagpapahinuhod sa mga sisidlan ng galit na nangahahanda na sa pagkasira:
23 At upang maipakilala ang kayamanan ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian sa mga sisidlan ng awa, na (AD)kaniyang inihanda nang una pa sa kaluwalhatian,
24 Maging sa atin na kaniya namang tinawag, (AE)hindi lamang mula sa mga Judio, kundi naman mula sa mga Gentil?
25 Gaya naman ng sinasabi niya sa aklat ni Oseas,
(AF)Tatawagin kong aking bayan na hindi ko dating bayan;
At iniibig, na hindi dating iniibig.
26 At mangyayari, (AG)na sa dakong pinagsabihan sa kanila, Kayo'y hindi ko bayan,
Ay diyan sila tatawaging mga anak ng Dios na buhay.
27 At si Isaias ay sumisigaw tungkol sa Israel, (AH)Kung ang bilang man ng mga anak ng Israel ay maging tulad sa buhangin sa dagat, (AI)ay ang nalalabi lamang ang maliligtas:
28 Sapagka't isasagawa ng Panginoon ang kaniyang salita sa lupa, na tatapusin (AJ)at paiikliin.
29 At gaya ng sinabi nang una ni Isaias,
(AK)Kung hindi nagiwan sa atin ng isang binhi ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo,
(AL)Tayo'y naging katulad sana ng Sodoma, at naging gaya ng Gomorra.
30 Ano nga ang ating sasabihin? Na ang mga Gentil, na hindi nangagsisisunod sa katuwiran, ay nagkamit ng katuwiran, sa makatuwid baga'y (AM)ng katuwiran sa pananampalataya:
31 Datapuwa't ang Israel (AN)sa pagsunod sa kautusan ng katuwiran, ay hindi umabot sa kautusang iyan.
32 Bakit? Sapagka't hindi nila hinanap sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya, kundi ng ayon sa mga gawa. (AO)Sila'y nangatisod sa batong katitisuran;
33 Gaya ng nasusulat,

C. Situazione di Israele
I privilegi di Israele
9 Dico la verità in Cristo, non mentisco, e la mia coscienza me ne dà testimonianza nello Spirito Santo: 2 ho nel cuore un grande dolore e una sofferenza continua. 3 Vorrei infatti essere io stesso anàtema, separato da Cristo a vantaggio dei miei fratelli, miei consanguinei secondo la carne. 4 Essi sono Israeliti e possiedono l'adozione a figli, la gloria, le alleanze, la legislazione, il culto, le promesse, 5 i patriarchi; da essi proviene Cristo secondo la carne, egli che è sopra ogni cosa, Dio benedetto nei secoli. Amen.
Dio non è infedele
6 Tuttavia la parola di Dio non è venuta meno. Infatti non tutti i discendenti di Israele sono Israele, 7 né per il fatto di essere discendenza di Abramo sono tutti suoi figli. No, ma: in Isacco ti sarà data una discendenza, 8 cioè: non sono considerati figli di Dio i figli della carne, ma come discendenza sono considerati solo i figli della promessa. 9 Queste infatti sono le parole della promessa: Io verrò in questo tempo e Sara avrà un figlio. 10 E non è tutto; c'è anche Rebecca che ebbe figli da un solo uomo, Isacco nostro padre: 11 quando essi ancora non eran nati e nulla avevano fatto di bene o di male - perché rimanesse fermo il disegno divino fondato sull'elezione non in base alle opere, ma alla volontà di colui che chiama - 12 le fu dichiarato: Il maggiore sarà sottomesso al minore, 13 come sta scritto:
Ho amato Giacobbe
e ho odiato Esaù.
Dio non è ingiusto
14 Che diremo dunque? C'è forse ingiustizia da parte di Dio? No certamente! 15 Egli infatti dice a Mosè:
Userò misericordia con chi vorrò,
e avrò pietà di chi vorrò averla.
16 Quindi non dipende dalla volontà né dagli sforzi dell'uomo, ma da Dio che usa misericordia. 17 Dice infatti la Scrittura al faraone: Ti ho fatto sorgere per manifestare in te la mia potenza e perché il mio nome sia proclamato in tutta la terra. 18 Dio quindi usa misericordia con chi vuole e indurisce chi vuole
19 Mi potrai però dire: «Ma allora perché ancora rimprovera? Chi può infatti resistere al suo volere?». 20 O uomo, tu chi sei per disputare con Dio? Oserà forse dire il vaso plasmato a colui che lo plasmò: «Perché mi hai fatto così?». 21 Forse il vasaio non è padrone dell'argilla, per fare con la medesima pasta un vaso per uso nobile e uno per uso volgare? 22 Se pertanto Dio, volendo manifestare la sua ira e far conoscere la sua potenza, ha sopportato con grande pazienza vasi di collera, gia pronti per la perdizione, 23 e questo per far conoscere la ricchezza della sua gloria verso vasi di misericordia, da lui predisposti alla gloria, 24 cioè verso di noi, che egli ha chiamati non solo tra i Giudei ma anche tra i pagani, che potremmo dire?
Infedeltà e chiamata previste dall'AT
25 Esattamente come dice Osea:
Chiamerò mio popolo quello che non era mio popolo
e mia diletta quella che non era la diletta.
26 E avverrà che nel luogo stesso dove fu detto
loro:
«Voi non siete mio popolo»,
là saranno chiamati figli del Dio vivente.
27 E quanto a Israele, Isaia esclama:
Se anche il numero dei figli d'Israele
fosse come la sabbia del mare,
sarà salvato solo il resto;
28 perché con pienezza e rapidità
il Signore compirà la sua parola sopra la terra.
29 E ancora secondo ciò che predisse Isaia:
Se il Signore degli eserciti
non ci avesse lasciato una discendenza,
saremmo divenuti come Sòdoma
e resi simili a Gomorra.
30 Che diremo dunque? Che i pagani, che non ricercavano la giustizia, hanno raggiunto la giustizia: la giustizia però che deriva dalla fede; 31 mentre Israele, che ricercava una legge che gli desse la giustizia, non è giunto alla pratica della legge. 32 E perché mai? Perché non la ricercava dalla fede, ma come se derivasse dalle opere. Hanno urtato così contro la pietra d'inciampo, 33 come sta scritto:
Ecco che io pongo in Sion una pietra di scandalo
e un sasso d'inciampo;
ma chi crede in lui non sarà deluso.

Paul’s Anguish Over Israel
9 I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying,(A) my conscience confirms(B) it through the Holy Spirit— 2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself(C) were cursed(D) and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people,(E) those of my own race,(F) 4 the people of Israel.(G) Theirs is the adoption to sonship;(H) theirs the divine glory,(I) the covenants,(J) the receiving of the law,(K) the temple worship(L) and the promises.(M) 5 Theirs are the patriarchs,(N) and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah,(O) who is God over all,(P) forever praised Amen.
God’s Sovereign Choice
6 It is not as though God’s word(R) had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.(S) 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”[b](T) 8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children,(U) but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.(V) 9 For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”[c](W)
10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.(X) 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad(Y)—in order that God’s purpose(Z) in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”[d](AA) 13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”[e](AB)
14 What then shall we say?(AC) Is God unjust? Not at all!(AD) 15 For he says to Moses,
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[f](AE)
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.(AF) 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[g](AG) 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.(AH)
19 One of you will say to me:(AI) “Then why does God still blame us?(AJ) For who is able to resist his will?”(AK) 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God?(AL) “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,(AM) ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[h](AN) 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?(AO)
22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience(AP) the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?(AQ) 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory(AR) known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory(AS)— 24 even us, whom he also called,(AT) not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?(AU) 25 As he says in Hosea:
“I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,”[i](AV)
26 and,
“In the very place where it was said to them,
‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”[j](AW)
27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:
“Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea,(AX)
only the remnant will be saved.(AY)
28 For the Lord will carry out
his sentence on earth with speed and finality.”[k](AZ)
29 It is just as Isaiah said previously:
“Unless the Lord Almighty(BA)
had left us descendants,
we would have become like Sodom,
we would have been like Gomorrah.”[l](BB)
Israel’s Unbelief
30 What then shall we say?(BC) That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;(BD) 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness,(BE) have not attained their goal.(BF) 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.(BG) 33 As it is written:

King James Version
Romans 9
King James Version
9 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
